“During my four years at Valpo, I spent a semester abroad in Costa Rica, presented at an Indiana State Legislature Subcommittee meeting, and participated in a semesterlong internship program in Washington, D.C. I am grateful to the professors and advisors at Valpo who encouraged me to engage in these experiential learning opportunities, which boosted my confidence and helped me build an impressive resume before even graduating. The welcoming alumni community in D.C. also influenced my decision to start my career here. Ultimately, these experiences led to my first post-grad job as a research associate at EAB in Washington, D.C.”
LILY CARMEL ’23
Major: Political science, global service
Role: Research associate
“The communications program opened a lot of doors for what I could do for my career — public relations, journalism, storytelling, social media, and more. For my MBA, I wanted to expand those same skills into finance, marketing, accounting, and everything else that goes into business. That baseline understanding makes me more prepared for the real world, including this opportunity with the NCAA.”

“I think the engineering faculty is owed a lot of the credit for my success so far. Their classes helped hone many of the non-technical skills that my managers have already voiced being very impressed with. My coursework at Valpo prepared me for being able to quickly learn and adapt, helping me excel very soon after graduating.”
